Life is full of surprises when it comes to sharing your art passion, I always have this feeling when I see a new customer from a new country join in.
I am fortunate to have students from all over the world and even countries Israel doesn't have diplomatic relations with.
Today I "met" my 1st customer from China purchasing the INKredible tutorials!
It's a small world! :)

OK, I know I should be moving on the my next projects but these alcohol inks got into my blood system! I just can't stop working with it! :)

Flower Power Alcohol Inks and Polymer Clay Pendants

Here is another necklace made in the Luminous Metallic technique (see above) and more "Flower Power" pendants sent as giveaways to all my customers;

The Teardrop necklace using several inking techniques and round beads (below) using alcohol inks and.... sea salt! I had to try mixing salt with the ink in the same way it is used in silk painting techniques - it doesn't look the same but that's another way of using salt!

Last project made 2 days ago was the TRIO pin with 3 layers of inked sheets and a matching earring set.

Now I have to move on and do something else! :)

Last reminder - don't miss the last days offering the 3 INKredible tutorials for a special introductory price with few last "Flower Power" giveaways.
3 PDF's, 15 projects and 8 videos - 2 CD's, free shipping and a gift pendant - offer expires on June 30th!

Not sure it's polymer but take a look at m.misheva's wonderful fabric curtain used as a display for pins.
I think the pins shown here are made of polymer clay although she works with felt as well.
This decoration can be used both to your home curtains and as pins display in your studio.http://www.flickr.com/photos/56085107@N02/7079192491/

You can also see a design made in this technique by Angela Hickey, she made this barrette by first making a reverse impression using a Lisa's rubber stamp. Next filled in the impression using Kato liquid clay tinted with mica powders.
Her Flickr gallery shows many of her recent creations using this technique -http://www.flickr.com/photos/polymer_clay_creations/7396625058/

Ready for a Dragon master class? This one is by Eugene Hontor (I hope I am correct), who master sculpture, drawings & poems. In addition, enjoys creating fantasy worlds and fantasy stories.
Written in russion, you can use a web translator to follow the steps.http://hontor.ru/publ/12-1-0-73

Polymer clay zombie invasion earring

Rocksterize is selling colorful and vibrant handmade mineral pigments & eye shadows and also hand crafted polymer clay jewelry, her etsy store is currently stocked with pigments only, but a dig in her sold items brought these quite cute "Zombie Invasion Earrings" along with other of their robotic friends.https://www.etsy.com/transaction/57806564?transaction_id=57806564

While visiting US with my family, I took a day off to take a walk on Manhattan streets.
5th & 6th Av. were my natural choice with endless findings stores, jewelry, beads and many more.

One of my purchases were huge loop earrings I saw many of the women wear.

I had to make an earring set to myself just to see how they look on me.
Then, I went to see a close friend, have a cup of coffee and she said immediately - "PLEASE, can you make one for me too?" (plus a big please smile)

I couldn't refuse her request and knew she is my best PR friend, so I went to create several sets for her (and myself) taking the opportunity to video the project as a free tutorial to you.

B&W Flowers on earring loops

Stripy flower earrings!
This 18 minutes earrings project is very easy to create and you can use any color, pattern, shape or technique when creating your polymer clay decoration to match any outfit you wear.
Stripes are only one option! you can use your millefiori flower canes, kaleidoscope canes, stamps, texture - anything will fit this design.

Go ahead and give it a try!

P.S - In a week or so I will be posting my new & extensive tutorial class, celebrating my 40th one.
Many weeks of preparations and investigation - materials and techniques were a part of this journey to bring you the best tutorials.
